Rounding a number to the nearest significant figure means rounding it to the nearest digit that indicates the precision of the measurement. This typically involves looking at the significant figures in the number and rounding to the appropriate level of precision. For example, 345.678 rounded to the nearest significant figure would be 300.
6276 as a significant figure would be 4 significant figures.
If the zeros are significant figures then 900 is correct to 3 significant figures. If rounding off has occurred then the answer could be 1 sf or 2sf. For example : If the original number was 903 and rounding off to the nearest ten was required then 900 is correct to 2 significant figures. If the number was 927 and rounding off to the nearest hundred was required then 900 is correct to 1 significant figure.
654 rounded to one significant figure becomes 700.
0.3 has one significant figure.
It is the first figure that's not a zero. This applies to all numbers.
0.01
0.6
9000
Significant figures are the number of digits in a value, often a measurement, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of the value.
You round to the nearest tens place. In this case, 738 rounded to one significant figure is 700.
The number 46313 rounded to 1 significant figure is 50000. The significant digit is 5, so the number is rounded up to the nearest power of 10.
To express 961 to one significant figure, you round it to the nearest significant digit. The first significant digit in 961 is 9, and since the next digit (6) is 5 or greater, you round up. Therefore, 961 rounded to one significant figure is 1000.
When expressing a number to one significant figure, you round the number to the nearest power of 10. In this case, 9862 to one significant figure would be 10,000. This is because the first digit from the left is 9, which is closer to 10 than 10000.
I think your question is asking how you would round 17.521 to the nearest number with 1 significant figure...if that's the case, it would round to 10.
When expressing a number to one significant figure, you round it to the nearest power of 10. In this case, 150.932 to 1 significant figure would be 200. Since 150.932 is closer to 200 than to 100, the rounded value is 200.
It is then 30,000 rounded to 1 significant figure
Put it on a calculator, you get 22.80677966 to the 5th significant figure, it is 22.807
